The Darkness Continues
Chapter 1-
By: Rose Silverstein
Rated: PG-13
Dedication: Shana (ff.net screen name: A Nobody)




Digimon = Slaves. Humans = Slaves. Well, most of them them anyway. Two people weren't slaves. And those two were the emperor and empress that ruled them. If Julius Caesar had a wife who was just as pretty and powerful as the Digimon Empress, the Digimon Emperor would be Caesar all over again.

The base was still in the Digital World. There was another one in the Real World. The Imperial Palace was in the real world, and another fortress called The Imperial Castle. The Palace was bigger.

* * * * *

Kari sprayed the roses of the Imperial Garden some more. At age 19, she wasn't too happy with her life. Her life was totally dull and ached for freedom. She knew the other Digi-destined felt the same way. Her big brother, Tai and her friend, Davis were always trying to think up new ways to escape and set the Real World and the Digital World free. Kari didn't think it was possible anymore. She had lost all hope.

Lots of the slaves, Kari cringed. She didn't like the word. Lots of them stayed at the Imperial Palace. Well, the human slaves. Digimon stayed at the Castle and others at the base. Kari stayed with her family. Or what was left of her family. She and Tai had no clue where in the world their parents were. Right now, she lived in a shack with Tai and Sora. Mimi, Matt and TK lived right next to them.

There were other shacks around them. Davis, Cody, Joe and Izzy's place was near. They formed a small "villiage" near the Palace. Tai and Sora had gotten married and so had Matt and Mimi.

The first time they came back to the Real World since they had been captured was good and bad for the "New Digi-destined." Well, what was left of them anyway. It took about five full years for Kari to accept what had happened. Okay, so maybe not five. But, it took a very long time.

It started of as just the Digimon Emperor. And they were winning that battle. They crushed almost every controll spire there was to crush and set free every single slave there was to set free.

Who in bloody hell knew?! That was the question Davis asked many times when they were explaining what happened in their final battle. He also asked that many times when they were explained the Empress thing.

So, it was good question. The answer was that nobody knew. Sure, some of the older DD thought that the Emperor knew and kept quiet about it so that the attack would've been a total surprise, but the younger ones knew that nobody knew until Yolei ran away. Ken and Yolei knew first. The DD found out later.

It was a nasty shock. The Digimon Empress. Who would've guessed?

They took over the Digital World first. At age fourteen, going on to fifteen, they had the Real World under control. The Digi-destined, old and new, fought back but they won. Something happened. The New ones tried to help from inside the base, or their prision. And the old DD battled with them, but they ended up getting captured.

After that, it was smooth sailing. In less than months, both worlds had a new emperor and a new empress.

All Kari and the other Digi-destined could do now was hope for the best. Just hope.

"Great!" the empress exclaimed. "What's the matter?" the emperor asked. "Nothing," Yolei replied. She got up off her throne and sat down on his lap, putting her arm around his neck. "Just another great day of ruling two worlds," she said.

Ken chuckled. "You're enjoying this as much as I am, aren't you?" he asked and he trailed his fingers up up of her legs and back down.

Nothing changed much about the dominant couple. Except for the fact that they were married now. And they'd changed their uniforms.

Yolei's uniform was now red and yellow. The skirt was a bit tight with slits at the sides for easy movement. The sleeves came a bit past her elbows and it covered her stomach. It showed off her figure. The skirt was about an inch higher than her knees. Her boots ended right below her knees. And, yeah, she still had the whip.

Ken's went from blue and gold to black. The cape was long and wasn't like the one he had when he was younger. And, DUH, he still had the whip. He also had a lasor sword. There was a small, rectangular box attached to his belt. There was a button on it. When he pressed it, a red lasor shot out.

Other than that, the only difference was that five years ago they were trying to take over two worlds and keep them both in controll. Now, they had controll and ruled them both.
